T
he Georgian region of Adjara boasts a diverse eco-system, outstandingly beautiful mountain landscapes and beach resorts. It is hardly surprising then that it is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination.
The main city of the region is distinctively beautiful Batumi, with its European architectural designs and sights, prominent spots and interesting people, adding a special charm to Adjara. Batumi is a city of great contrasts where people of different religions and ethnicities have been living together for centuries. It is a city of modern and old architecture, picturesque mountains and sea landscapes, a beach with wide promenade and rocky narrow streets, tall skyscrapers and noisy, diverse yards. Batumi’s history of development dates back centuries. The first records of the city were kept by ancient Greek geographers. Meanwhile, Vakhushti Batonishvili, Georgian geographer, historian and cartographer, notes that Batumi was known for its amazing citadel back in the 18th century. The development of Batumi began to accelerate in the 19th century when it was granted the status of Porto Franco, enabling the city to establish itself as a growing economic and political location on the world map.

შავი ზღვის რეგიონში ბათუმს მთავარი ტურისტული ქალაქის ამბიცია გააჩნია და სავსებით საფუძვლიანადაც. Batumi holds ambitions to become the main tourist city of the whole Black Sea region. In the period of 1878-1886, Batumi became the main business hub of some world-renowned entrepreneurs. Indeed, the Noble brothers, Rothschilds and Rockefellers, who made a crucial impact on global industry, are associated with Batumi port. The free market economy and big business interests turned Batumi into one of the most important political centers of Transcaucasia, while the embassies of North American and leading European countries also played important roles in the advancement of the region.
